Testi musica canzoni

Come one, come all
Leave your looms and milking stools,
coop the hens and pen the mules
Come one, come all
Close the churches and the schools
it's the day for breaking rules
Come and join the Feast of.....Fools!

Once a year we throw a party, here in town
Once a year we turn all Paris upside down
Every man's a king and every king's a clown
once again it's Topsy Turvy Day
It's the day the devil in us gets released
It's the day we mock the pig and shock the priest
Everything is topsy turvy at the Feast of Fools

Topsy Turvy

Everything is upsy-daisy

Topsy Turvy

Everyone is acting crazy

Dross is gold and weeds are a bouquet
that's the way on Topsy Turvy Day

Topsy Turvy

Beat the drums and blow the trumpets

Topsy Turvy

Join the bums and theives and strumpets
streaming in from Chartres to Calais

Scurvy knaves are extra scurvy
on the 6th of January
all because it's Topsy Turvy Day

Come one, come all
Hurry, hurry here's your chance,
see the mystery and romance
Come one,come all
See the finest girl in France
make an entrance to entrance
Dance la Esmeralda.......
Dance!!

Here it is, the moment you've been waiting for
Here it is, you know exactly what's in store
Now's the time we laugh until our sides get sore
Now's the time we crown the King of Fools!!

So make a face that's horrible and frightening
make a face as gruesome as a gargoyle's wing
for the face that's ugliest will be the King of Fools
Why?

Topsy Turvy

Ugly folk, forget your shyness

Topsy Turvy

You could soon be called "Your Highness"

Put the foulest features on display
Be the king of Topsy Turvy Day
Everybody

Once a year we throw a party, here in town
Once a year we turn all Paris upside down
Once a year the ugliest will wear a crown
Once a year on Topsy Turvy Day

Hail to the king
Oh, what a king
Girls, give a kiss
We've never had a king like this

And its the day we do the things that we deplore
on the other three hundred and sixty-four
Once a year we love to drop in, where the beer is never stoppin'
For the chance to pop some popinjay
And pick a king who'll put the top in Topsy Turvy Day
Topsy Turvy
Mad and crazy,upsy-daisy,Topsy Turvy Day
